  • Title: [Endosalpingosis or microcystic and proliferating glandular inclusion disease of the genital tract and peritoneum. Apropos of 6 cases].
    Author: De Morel P, Nomballais F, Sagot P, Dantal F, Lopes P, Lerat MF.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1990 May; 85(5):313-8. PubMed ID: 2165274.
    Abstract:
    Endosalpingosis, defined by the presence in an ectopic site of epithelium comparable to that of the tubal mucosa, is not a well-known entity. In reference to 6 cases of our department, the authors have been able to assess this lesion. Clinical manifestations and laboratory tests offer no arguments. Cytology represents a diagnostic trap. The diagnosis may only be made histologically and is very often fortuitous. This benign lesion is often the result of a metaplasic process but, considering the difficulty of the diagnosis, the treatment is often surgical (total hysterectomy with castration). The course is uneventful.
